Let us assume that the base angle of the isosceles triangle, then the vertex angle will be 2ao. As we know that the sum of three angles of a triangle equal to 180o. Since the base angles are equal, then the base angles are 45o each, the vertex angle will be 2 x 45o = 90.

so according to ur question the vertex angle is twice the sum of the base angles so, take one base angle as x
u know that the base triangles of an isosceles triangle is always equal
so we found the 2 base angles that is = x
now the sum = x + x = 2x ( this is the sum of the base angles )
now we need to find the other angle
the other angle is twice the sum of the sum of the 2 base angles = 2 * 2x = 4x
now we can calculate the angles
4x + 2x = 1800 ( angle sum property of a triangle )
6x = 180
x = 180 / 6 = 30
therfore the base angles are 300 and 300 and the vertex angle = 2 * ( 30 + 30 ) = 2 * 60 = 1200
